Past Life

And you thought Roxas would be the one to remember. AKUROKU, RIKUSORA, much drama and gayness. Written by a yaoi fangirl, which explains all.

Hello all. I am Bright Sin and if you want any more of an introduction you can click on the little blue name right under the title.

This is classified as a romance/humor but you're going to have to wait a bit for the romance parts, ok? I actually planed this fic out, which is incredible for me and NO ONE IS GOING TO FREAKIN RUIN MY PLOT!!!!

If you see bits and pieces of other fics in here, my bad. I'll try to credit you if I remember and if I don't then please NICELY send me a message and I'll give you credit right away. I have a whole list of quotes and ideas to use but can't remember all the authors I've been inspired by. Yes, inspired. I do not steal work, because that's lame and I doubt that I'll be able to write it better anyway. The real fics are probably favorited by me, so go check them out if they're mentioned, ok?

The fic that started this all was Mashed potatoes and Family Reunions as well as it's sequel, Lengthy drives and Stupid People which are both by Lovebites and Popcorn. I thought, 'hey, Roxas is kinda going through some angst here, but Axel gets off scot-free! Now what if Axel…' and thus this story was born. XD

BTW, if you read this and like where I'm going with it, I kinda need a beta. (hint hint)

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is not owned by me. Obviously, as a FAN I write FANFICTION. Really, do you think anyone would want to pay me for this junk anyway?!?


How many journals would you need to record a lifetime's worth of dreams?

At the age of 15, that would be 32 single subject wide rule notebooks, 12 three subject spiral notebooks ( 6 wide rule, 5 college rule), 7 composition notebooks, 2 sketchbooks, and 9 various other journals (including one very pink and sparkly diary). Even that amount isn't quite accurate because Kent sometimes didn't write down his dream for the night and he obviously hadn't recorded any dreams from when he was a baby.

Why did Kent record his dreams? Why not? Wouldn't you record your dreams if they continued to repeat, to play out like a movie, another life, again and again? Another life, where an older version of Kent was able to create fire with his mind and had no heart.

Where was the funky skyscraper filled city that his nighttime life took place in? It looked kind of like an alien city, complete with a futuristic space-castle and little glowing white alien thingies. How about the town where the sun is always setting? No town Kent has ever seen had such a huge clock tower! He had certainty never been inside an insane-asylum-white castle before either. Heck, Kent had never been to places even remotely like those in his dreams!

And who was that golden haired boy with frozen eyes that kept reappearing? Dream Kent seemed to feel such an ache whenever that boy appeared; sad and happy and determined and confused all at the same time. But how was that possible? Without a heart, the dream Kent shouldn't be able to feel anything at all!

What is going on with Kent? Why does he have these dreams? There were no answers – it didn't make any sense! All Kent could do was record his nightly memories, try to capture his dreams on paper. He sketched out the people and places and continued to fill out his journals with steadily more detailed descriptions, watching as a story grew and became more complicated. He wondered if any of this was ever real…


Yes. Neo-Axel's name is Kent. Actually, that's his nickname. When I post the next chapter, hopefully I'll have enough names decided that I'll be able to give you a cheat-sheet list. But for now, here's Axel's new name:

Kennet Renovatio (nickname is Kent)

Fun fact: I put a lot of effort into my names, so go on a baby names site and look them up. And NO, KH may originally be Japanese but that doesn't make all my characters Japanese too. Kent (Axel)'s last name is Latin. I plan on having Kent (Axel) be a Chicago boy (because he is such a city boy and I know that city best. Actually, I wanted him to be a New Yorker, but I've never been to New York and thus have no right to write about it), Roxas will live in Georgia (can you NOT see him looking uber hot in a cowboy outfit?!?!), and Sora will be British with a Turkish/Middle Eastern dad (purely because of the name I've found for him. The meaning is perfect!). And after reading Life on the Blitz by finem, Riku is definitely going to be Hawaiian. I know he isn't really a full native in the story, but I love the idea. Plus, the fanart of him from the fire dance made me want to dress him up like that too. ^^

And wow, it's pretty sad that I have almost more Author Notes then story so far. I tend to ramble, so sorry! The chapters WILL get longer!

Luv, Bright Sin
